Testimonials

" Just read an article about how MBT's (and other stability shoes are not beneficial for arthritis sufferers. I bought my first pair of MBT sandals in 2005... I have worn out about 7 pairs and currently own 14 pairs of sneakers and sandals.
I have arthritis in my feet, specifically my toes and the top of the instep. Icannot wear regular shoes for more than an hour without my feet being in enough pain that I must stay sitting. With my MBT's I can walk, hike, workout in the gym, etc. all day. I call them my magic shoes. I tried another brand once because they were cheaper...awful, awful. I can't speak more highly of your products and do so every opportunity I have. Thank you.. "

" My introduction to MBT® were MBT® sandals which I wore on weekends. I am a busy lawyer who is hunched over a computer screen for long hours every day. At the end of the day, my back ached and my muscles felt strained. Wearing the MBT® sandals helped me straighten up and relieved much stress on my back. I have since moved beyond the sandals and I now wear MBT® sneakers on weekends and MBT® shoes for work. The MBT® footwear not only helps improve my walking posture, but they give me an added lift to my steps. At the office, I feel refreshed when I return to my computer, even after short walks around the office. At the end of my work days wearing my MBT®'s, I feel less stress on my back. Thanks, MBT®. "
